Welcome ... Introduce Yourself Here !

Hey guys since we're coming from everywhere all around the world ... why not take a minute to briefly introduce ourselves ?

I'm Steve from Daytona Beach, Florida (don't have to do your name - that's just me).I'm a US Veteran, retired from the IT industry, but most importantly ... I've been hanging around cars all my life and love anything with a motor that goes.

My name is Dan, I currently live in Montgomery, Texas. Been a GM Transmission man for 30 years. Some day if I live that long I might get to retire. I also have had my time with drag racing. Got tired of sitting around for hours on end to make a quick pass so I quit. I have enjoyed the Hot Rod Power Tour from 2004 through 2008 and again in 2013. I hope to go again next year.

My first car was a 70 Impala that I bought for $35.00 with a bad motor and transmission. My dad helped me get it running, so I blame him for me turning into a mechanic. Just kidding Dad. Have always been into older cars. Kick myself for selling my 70 SS Chevelle, my 68 Chevelle and El Camino and a couple of Nova's. I have no intention of ever selling my 64 Chevelle that has been my pride and joy since 1992.

Jim here from Minnesota. Currently have a few Mopars and also some Buick Gran Sports, some owned since the 70's. We enjoy the Power Tour and have Long Hauled in 4 of our cars. Also do some drag racing but recently sold the dedicated drag car, a 69 Dart GTS. I hope to retire some day so I can spend more time with the grandkids. Cars we have are Coronet R/T's, Challenger R/T's, cuda, pickups, and 66 Buick Gran Sports. I kept most of my cars over the years so that's how we accumulated them. I have had at least one convertible continuously since age 16. Always liked the drop tops!

We have met the two previous posters (Steve and Dan) on the Power Tour and got to see them and their cars in person!

Steve (the other one) here from Ohio.. Have been a manufacturing engineer for 42 years and getting ready to hang up my slide rule.. Have also been a shade tree grease monkey for... all my life, I guess. Just love all things mechanical and cars have always been my first love. Like the rest of you , I am sure..I just have never had the money or opportunity to have a really hot ride or go into racing and don't see that changing soon. But hey I'm cool with that.

1st car: 1958 Plymouth Fury (continental kit and push button trans) bought from my Aunt for $1.00 and then put it into the back of a 1955 Belair!!Next: 1964 Dodge Dart slant 6.. Loved that car.Built: 1964 Triumph TR6 (before the A) then a MG Midget and a MGB (all someone else's rides)Also had a Fiat 850 for crying out loud. But it did out run a SAAB Sonett II through Bristol, TN.An IROC-Z (305 dog), Mitsu Sapporo, Nissan Maxima, well, you can see a pattern here.

Now I have a 2003 GMC 1500 5.7 4x4 that I really like and would like to take the performance up to the next level up to and including heads and a cam. But don't have a clue how to do it and still maintain drive-ability. So I will likely be asking a lot of dumb questions..

John from St Louis area. I am a sales rep for John deere dealership. Bought a 1966 chevelle, auctually bought the car back. My grandmother originally bought the car new and she gave it to me in 2000, It was in need of restore at that time and I did not have the budget to do it so i sold the car. I have been looking for a chevelle since march of this year and had contracts on two different 1965's and keep getting the run around from the sellers and just could nopt get either of those two purchased. Than i was searching the net and this 1966 game up for sale at noun, and it had my grandma's name listed in the ad as the original purchaser and it cought my eye. I left work early to go see the car and bought it by 2:00 that same day. It has had a frame off restore and is beutiful. It has had some minor modifications and updates , but i could not be happier as i have my hot rod and it was my grandma's! Thank you for reading! JB

Hello....My name is John. I have been slowly rebuilding my 1972 Grand Prix.The engine is nearly done, as is the entire undercarriage. From the doors back all the body is complete, and in primer. Hopefully by the spring of 2015 i will be driving her again. I am in Toronto Canada, and planning on hitting as many car meets as possible. I have done some rebuilds in the past, but i found this one difficult to find parts. I have a few parts that i cant find. Hopefully i find new friends who could help me search..........Cheers
